Movie 1408
I really enjoyed watching this movie. I wouldn’t really say it was scary, I would say it was more freaky. I really liked it though. It kept me interested and entertained the whole movie. I wasn’t bored at any part. The actors did a good job and it was …
Black or White (drama movie)
For me the actor Kevin Costner’s name has become synonymous with watching certain kinds of films. Thus I consider him one of the more “serious” popular actors. Therefore, I found it interesting an refreshing to see that he was doing something a little different when I saw the trailer for …

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
I am of the opinion that this movie is one of the greatest drug stories ever told. Johnny Depp and Benicio DelToro star in Terry Gilliam’s adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s cult novel. The movie opens with the two lead characters Raoul Duke (Depp) and his attorney (Del Toro), …
Carandiru (R, 2004) movie
It’s amazing how much of a learning tool Netflix has been for me. I rented “Carandiru” without ever hearing about the inmate/police riot that occurred in October of 1992. I know that I wasn’t really up on world events during that time. But knowing …

Doogal animated film
I usually love animated films, especially some of the newer ones. However, though I did like Doogal, I really wasn’t all that impressed with it either.
It was definitely a cute film. Doogal is a dog who, along with a group of his friends, has to defeat an evil wizard …
The Patriot Movie
The patriot is one of the best movies that I ever watch. This movie is based on the struggle of poor Americans against the mighty British Empire. The struggle was a success and hence it makes the movie a must see to learn the art of impeccable planning.
The first …
High School Musical movie
This is one of the best newer movies to come out of Disney in the recent future.
Set around a basketball player and the class brain trying out for the school’s musical and landing the lead roles, the movie has a fun plot to follow and some great music.
I’ve seen …
Belligerent Ghost

This film historically traces the development of these two computer companies from the time these two gentlemen are college (the early …
Crossed Over
I watched this movie on lifetime just a few days ago. Overall it was an alright movie. I think it could have been a lot better. I usually love movies with Diane Keaton in it, she is a really good actress. This one though was a little boring. It’s …
Doomed to Die (movie)
The movie “Doomed to Die” is actually a movie from the nineteen forties starring the popular actor Boris Karloff. How I heard about this movie was when I saw a reference made to it when reading someone’s blog, and decided to check it out for myself, and when I …

Silent Hill (2006 movie)
I’m quite the horror fanatic, especially when it comes to video games. Thus, I am quite the Silent Hill junkie. I absolutely love the games (with the exception of Homecoming and my minor dismays with Shattered Memories) and play them all the time.
Now, when I first saw the movie, …
The Messengers, Pang Brothers Movie
Solomon’s family decided to move to a small house on the outskirts of Chicago. Here, they try to rebuild their lives and their family harmony, which began faded. However, I realize that in their new home, there is strength and the Supernatural. Unfortunately, only five of the toddler, Ben, …
The Town Went Wild movie
The Town Went Wild, a 1944 release, was a really ridiculous movie that was overplayed and just felt like a big glob of confusion. The film centers on two boys, young men really, of marrying age even, who are suddenly told that they were switched at birth and …
Gaslight (1944)
I have just watched this fantastic old black and white movie, Gaslight, starring the wonderful Ingrid Bergman as Paula, a woman nearly driven out of her mind by her husband in a bid to get his hands on her fortune. Bergman won her first Oscar in this role …
1408
For some time, I have been pretty fed up with the “horror” movies coming out. But I decided to take a chance on both Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack, since they are both favorite actors of mine. At any rate, the story is fairly simple: …
Meet the Spartans
Normally, I like movies that spoof other movies; everything from Scary movie to pretty much anything made by Mel Brooks. But, after watching Meet the Spartans last night, I no longer can say I like all movies in that genre.
The thing about Meet the Spartans is it had the …
Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead
I was told that this movie was incredibly good. I knew that there was some kind of twist in the plot. But I will admit that when I was told this, I interpreted it to mean that there would be some sort of surprise ending. …
9 to 5 by Dolly Pardon
9 to 5 is the first song that I personally remember hearing Dolly Pardon perform on TV. I saw the movie a few years latter when it came out and just about died laughing. It has a way of demonstrating the male stereo type of so many bosses. It …
Almost Famous movie
The self-biographical film by Cameron Crowe in which a young music journalist gets to travel around america with a rock band and experience the same thing they do. Almost Famous is a film about growing up, being an individual, but also a very touching portrait of the people associated …
Tropic Thunder, Thunderously Funny
If comedy-action movies are your thing, then “Tropic Thunder” is a must-see. If not, I would still suggest checking it out as this movie provides more laughs than I ever expected.
I normally don’t go for the action-adventure movies; however, Jack Black and Ben Stiller have always provided hilarious comedic …
Castaway
Tom Hanks is one of my favorite movie stars. I usulaly like watching him perform with Meg Ryan, I saw him in a movie called Castaway where is co star was a volley ball named Wilson.
In this movie ToM Hanks plays a Federal Express executive who is set …
The Brave One
The actress, Jodie Foster is simply fantastic in whatever role she interprets and it seems to get better with every movie. This also applies to “The Brave One”. In this movie, Foster manages to work on the viewers’ emotion and during the movie you don’t know whether to love …
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
I am Greek and when we saw the movie advertized for the MY Big Fat Greek Wedding. I had to watch this movie. It was hilarious.
While watching this movie I could see so many things that some of the people that I know related to this movie. …
So I Married an Axe Murderer
I’m not a huge fan of some of his later Austin Powers movies, but I have always thought Mike Myers was a bit underrated when it comes to his films. That’s why I took the time to watch one of his first movies again; “So I Married an Axe …
Fun With Dick & Jane
I didn’t know what to think when I rented Fun With Dick & Jane. I usually like Jim Carrey movies but I wasn’t sure if this one would be very good or not. What I found was, while it was a funny movie, it was one I could relate …
Yes Man (2008)
I’ve seen this movie last week, with some friends in the local multiplex. Well, this one, is probably one of those movies you watch and enjoy while watching it, and you forget the moment the credits start to roll. There isn’t anything much, or memorable about this movie (well, …
Veggie Tales:God Made You Special
I absolutely love getting Veggie Tale movies for my daughter; both because they are entertaining and because I know she is getting something that will teach her things that will help her be a better person as she gets older.
The movie God Made You Special is a good example …
Movie : The Uninvited (2009)
The Uninvited is yet another film in a long line of Hollywood remakes that were originally Japanese horror movies. A lot of these remakes have received a bad rap in the past but apart from a couple, in general I really enjoy them.
The pacing of this movie is …
Deadly Grace
“Deadly Grace” is quite a fast paced thriller.
FBI agent, Alex Cruz has been sent to talk to a Person of Interest in a double homicide in England. The Person of Interest is Jillian Meade in a small town in Minnesota.
When Alex arrives, he finds Jillian in …
Locked Up (NR, 2004) movie
Ohhh boy. I guess I should go ahead and warn you that this movie is a very low-budget yet hardcore German gay film. While not necessarily a pornographic movie, there are some rather explicit scenes, and one in particular that is really jarring to watch, no …
Casino Royale
I have watched the movie ‘Casino Royale’. This is a very interesting and exciting movie. This is a James Bond movie. In this movie, Daniel Craig acts as James Bond. The film is full of action and adventure. There are many chasing scenes. In the beginning itself, Bond is …
Thirteen Ghosts
The movie formula for Thirteen Ghosts works for me. I love the plot and though it’s a bit nonsensical to see these ghosts lurking with their weird designs and features, but it’s still a bonus to watch this.
I felt that this movie is like one of its …
Last Samurai Movie
The Last Samuria is truely a box office hit, no doubt about it. When it comes down to onscreen action, this film will leave you with goose-bumps, especially the scene where the ninjas attacked the village (guess you will have to watch it to find out exactly what happened). …
Hot Fuzz
This movie was fantastic, it had me chuckling the whole way through. From the same team that gave us Shaun of the Dead, this takes the life of Police Officer Nicholas Angel and delights with a send up of American police movies and the British country whodunits. …
Left Behind The Movie
Left Behind The Movie is the first in what I consider to be a mini series about the apocalypses. It gives us the writers view point of how he see’s the event happening. Kirk Cameron does a phenomenal job playing the part of the reporter in the movie. It …
Twilight (2008 Film)
The 2008 “Twilight” movie is something that many people are familiar with I am sure. It hit the big screen after being a wonderful bestselling book, loved by many age groups. When it finally hit the big screen the theaters were packed by this romantic film about teenage love …
Enchanted movie
The story introduced me that the theory of “happily ever after” is just a fairytale. Enchanted shows you the fact, between the fairytale and the realities. Love needs time and everything may be happen when you’re about to find your true love. Well, I guess that was the idea …
Into the Wild
I watched Into the Wild yesterday. I think most or part of the plot story that is in this story is based on true events. Sean Peen excels this time and this is a very good movie which leads you to think long after the movie’s finished. …
Wanted movie
I’m such a huge fan of Angelina Jolie that I’ve seen every film she has starred in. The latest of which is “Wanted”, the action-packed flick based on the comics by Mark Millar and JG Jones and directed by Timur Bekmambetov about Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) a man who …
Living in Oblivion
I’m not a huge Steve Buscemi fan. I’ve always thought he was better as a character actor in a small role than a lead actor. But, I got a chance to watch his 1995 film “Living in Oblivion” and was admittedly impressed with it.
I never heard of this movie …
The Ramen Girl movie
I wasn’t expecting much from the movie The Ramen Girl simply because I’m not a huge Brittany Murphy fan. But, I will admit, it turned out to be better than expected.
Murphy is convincing as a woman who travels to Japan to be with her boyfriend and, after getting dumped …
